Dahlia Noir L’Eau
by Givenchy
Dahlia Noir L’Eau is a crisp, green-tinged citrus floral with a quiet, refined elegance. It opens with a clean, aromatic burst of lemon, neroli, and fresh green notes, creating a refreshing and invigorating sensation. The heart unfolds with delicate rose and peony, balanced by a subtle powdery warmth, while the base reveals warm cedar and musky patchouli, adding depth without heaviness. The scent evolves gently, retaining its clarity and freshness through the day, making it ideal for warm-weather wear. It’s particularly well-suited for summer or spring, and its restrained sillage means it stays close to the skin, offering a subtle, personal presence. The fragrance has a transparent, unobtrusive quality—perfect for office wear or casual outings—where a sense of freshness and quiet sophistication is desired.
